At 38, Ronaldo felt ready to leave Europe. Though his final months at Manchester United were not memorable at all, hedidshinein the Old Continent for a long period. Now, not only is he making big bucks but also contributes a lot in the growth of the Saudi Pro League.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Al-Nassr want to bring Sergio Busquets to Riyadh. The veteran midfielder has entered the final months of his contract with Barcelona, which is why he can already sign a pre-contract agreement with any other club.
The report claims Al-Nassr have already offered Busquetsa two-year, $36 million deal. The formerSpain international, meanwhile, is reportedly waiting to hear Barcelona’s offer before making a decision.
Busquets may not be getting any younger (he turns 35 in July), but he still has enough value for both teams. While for Al-Nassr would mean strengthening theirclub and league, he is one of the most beloved players in Barcelona history. Only time will tell what the future holds for him.
